"It's a disregard for all blacks!"

In the spacious living room, Luther stood in the middle and uttered the sonorous words, "This is Hollywood ignoring the contributions of our ancestors to this country, they have always ignored us, and we must make our voices heard!" ”

"Luther is right!"

Another black man who had appeared at the premiere of "Saving Private Ryan" also stood up, "The scene where the Omaha landing was all white!" Hollywood once again one-sidedly denied the contribution of black people to World War II! ”

"So what do we do?"

What exactly is the status of blacks in this country, no one knows better than them, "Say, what are we going to do!" ”

"Gather as many ......people as you can," Luther said after a moment's thought, "and starting tomorrow we'll be divided into two parts, one to the Los Angeles City Hall Theater and one to the Fox Tower in Century City." ”

"It's not good." Someone said worriedly, "Will it trigger a sensitive reaction from the California state government, 92 years have just passed." ”

Thinking of the brutally suppressed black riot, some people hesitated.

"We just sat in protest." Luther wasn't stupid yet, "just protesting against 'Saving Private Ryan', calling on all blacks to boycott the film and not do anything else that goes too far." ”

These blacks left one after another to use their influence to call for more people to join the protest against the dignity of blacks and their ancestors tomorrow, and only a few Luthers hid in their homes, happily counting the numbers on the checks.

Not far from here, in the Latin community, Rodriguez is doing the same.

In the darkness of night, nearly a dozen young people walked into a theater in the suburbs of Chicago, and when they came to the lobby, they found that for the first time this year, there was a long queue at the ticket counter, where tickets used to be easy to buy.

"Kim, is "Saving Private Ryan" really as good as you say?"

When queuing, the leader heard the suspicious words of his companion, spread his hands and said helplessly, "This is the second time I have watched it in one day, if the film is not good, will I come a second time?" ”

"Mitte, I'm the second time too!" Another companion also spoke, "If Kim himself is a fool and was deceived by the movie, then will the two of us become fools at the same time?" ”

"I just ran to the front and took a look."

A person who came with him walked back from the front, "Most of the people who bought tickets chose "Saving Private Ryan", and more than half of them were already selected. ”

"So, when you walk into the theater and don't know which film to choose, follow in the footsteps of most people."

Standing behind the ticket window, Criswell saw that nearly ten people had bought tickets for "Saving Private Ryan" again, and a rare smile hung on the corner of his mouth, of course he was not happy for this film, but for the ticket sales of the theater.

Since the afternoon, the theater has seen a surge in footage, nearly two-thirds of which has been directed to Duke Rosenberg's new film, "Saving Private Ryan," which reminds Criswell of last year's "Independence Day," the young director who is definitely the theater's best friend and partner.

Even, if the weekly ...... No, if you can have a Duke-like movie released every month, you don't have to worry about the performance of the theater.

There are still too few directors like Duke Rosenberg in Hollywood!

With such emotion, Criswell returned to his office with the sales records from today to the present.

Today, his theater has sold a total of $25,075 in tickets, including $16,756 from "Saving Private Ryan," while "Braveheart," which was previously thought to be a failure, can only be described as a failure, with only $3,231 in sales.

Not to mention that this figure is compared with "Saving Private Ryan", even the $4,214 of "Die Hard 3", which has been released for a week, easily crushed it!

"Braveheart" is really a film with high expectations and low trends!

sighed, Criswell suddenly remembered the reaction of many viewers he heard, and felt that this was also normal.

After all, the story of the Scotsman, and the male protagonist who was hyped up as a traitor by so much multimedia before the release, really has no advantage in front of a film that tells the story of the hero and the Americans themselves, and the release time period chosen by Twentieth Century Fox is also very targeted.

Memorial Day is just around the corner, and in recent days there have been a lot of commemoration events across the United States, many of which are closely linked to the largest war in history.

Putting down the report, Christian's eyes flashed with determination, it's time to make up your mind!

He dialed the phone number of the sales manager and said in an unquestionable tone, "Starting tomorrow, the scheduling rate of "Saving Private Ryan" will increase to 75%!" Only one theater was left dedicated to the screening of "Braveheart"! The vacated theater is reserved for an evening hall for "Die Hard 3", and the rest is used to screen "Saving Private Ryan"! ”

The audience loved watching this movie and it was able to bring a lot of revenue to the theater, and Criswell just made what he thought was the right choice!

"Dear ......"

Demi Moore walked into the room and kissed Bruce Willis on the cheek, "John is here, it seems that there is something important." ”

After getting dressed, the Willis couple appeared in the living room hand in hand and greeted the middle-aged man who came over warmly, who was the head of public relations of "Die Hard 3".

"Is there good news, John?"

The other party must have something important coming over so late, Willis asked, "Is it from the movie?" ”

"There is good news." John didn't mean to sell off, and said directly, "I just got the news that "Die Hard 3" beat "Braveheart" at the box office today! ”

"Oh, that's great news." Demi Moore asked tentatively, "What about Private Ryan?" ”

"You're so greedy, Demi!" John shook his head, "There's no comparison. ”

"We're not going to beat Duke Rosenberg." Bruce Willis seems self-aware, "It's good to beat Braveheart, which came out the first week, in the second weekend. ”

"The good news doesn't stop there." John continued, "I got the exact news from the North American Theater Alliance, the theater chain led by AMG, Emperor Entertainment and the National Theater Alliance has decided to reduce the scheduling rate of "Braveheart" from tomorrow, and if the box office of the other party's single theater does not improve, from next Monday, they will significantly reduce their release scale! ”

"Bruce, what do you think?"

The other party is one of the big investors in the film, and John takes his opinion very seriously.

"It's a very stupid mistake to compete with Dukr Rosenberg's film in the summer!"

After thinking about it for less than two seconds, Bruce Willis made a decision, "Contact Duke's agent, contact D-Day Studios and Twentieth Century Fox, and we'll join forces with them to suppress and carve up the theater chain of Braveheart!" ”

"I'll do it now!"

With that, John turned and left the living room.

Invisible competition envelops this battlefield called Hollywood like gunsmoke, and the silence of the night will not let the smoke dissipate, and the rising sun during the day will make the smoke even hotter.

Dressed in a short tracksuit, Duke ran all the way through the garden, went straight to the side door of the villa, went back upstairs to take a shower, changed into formal clothes and went down the main staircase, and when he walked into the dining room, Tina Fey was already waiting here.

"Morning, Duke." The female assistant greeted him.

"Morning, Tina."

Nodding, Duke sat down at the table and gestured to Tina Fey to sit casually, ready to enjoy his breakfast.

Tina Fei took the coffee brought by the maid, and after saying thank you, she opened the Wen Jiàn folder she was holding, "Yesterday's statistics are out." ”

"Say it." Duke sliced the fried egg and said, "Try to relax here, I don't have that many rules." ”

"Hmm......" Tina Fey nodded, looked at the report in her hand, and secretly sighed that some media were not wrong at all to call Duke the king of summer files, "Of the 2,543 theaters in North America on the first day, "Saving Private Ryan" got $20.54 million!" ”

"It's really good news."

Picking up the cup of oatmeal, Duke held it up to Tina Fey, "It's important for us to have a drink together." ”

"It's very necessary."

Tina Fey smiled, took a sip of her coffee from her cup, and got back to work, knowing what else Duke cared about, and said, "Braveheart...... After only $1.22 million in midnight play, far below expectations, only $2.75 million came in on the first day. ”

"Paramount Pictures is going to be sad, and I don't know if Shirley Lansing will step down because of this."

Muttering in a low voice, Duke swallowed the omelette in his mouth and asked, "Second in a single day?" ”

"It's not." Tina Fey shook her head slightly, "Bruce Willis's "Die Hard 3" was released in the second week and got $6.21 million yesterday! ”

"It looks like Braveheart is going to pounce?"

Although it is not known at the box office, Duke believes that Mel Gibson's life will definitely not be easy under the attack of GIs and Willis.

It is not only the quality and publicity that affect the box office performance of the movie, but also the performance of competitors in the same schedule.

"There is also word of mouth, and the audience praise of "Saving Private Ryan" has dropped to 93 percent, maintaining a normal and healthy decline...... Well, the audience reputation of "Braveheart" quickly dropped to 69%. ”

In such a situation, "Braveheart" simply cannot resist the combined impact of "Die Hard 3" and "Saving Private Ryan", just last night, Duke received a notice from Nancy and Pani Kelis that Bruce Willis wants to join forces with this side to suppress "Braveheart"!

In this way, Duke and Fox will certainly not refuse to carve up the theater of "Braveheart".

After breakfast, Duke takes Tina Fey to the Fox Tower in Century City, where there is a press conference about responding to the film's too bloody and brutal appearance. R1152
